Soccer kicks off a winnin SEEISOFI Soccer, a sport introduced to Klein two years ago, gained much recognition in the 1983-84 season. The boys team, coached by Allen Baker, certainly had a successful year. The offense was led by senior strikers Louis Nelson and Brett Countryman, definitely a winning combination. Supporting both the offense and defense, the midfield was in excellent form with Pat O'Toole, Peter Meyer, and Craig Langston playing to their best ability. The defense, one of the best in the area, consisted of experienced players such asCharlesValles,GregLeMaster,Steve Thompson and John Schlenskerg they were a tremendous help to goalies Mike Bierman and Eddie Enriques in every game played. The team also considered the skills of two outstanding ' sophomores, Scottie Newburger and Jerry Key, a great asset on the field. With an organized and well-developed group such as this, the boys soccer team excelled in 1984. The 1983-84 girls soccer team also had a successful season. After competing in State Championships last year, the girls returned home with a winning attitude and were prepared to begin this season with much enthusiasm.
